From the author who has dazzled us with her Pirate Next Door, The Pirate Hunter and The Care and Feeding of Pirates, comes this debut contemporary romance. The fixation began on New Year’s Day: silky, expensive slips from New York and Italy; camisoles and thongs from Beverly Hills. Before, Brenda Scott would have blushed to be caught dead in them. Now, she’d ditched the shy and mousy persona that had gotten her dumped by her rich and perfect fiancé, and she was sexy. Underneath her sensible clothes, Brenda was the woman she wanted to be.
After all, why couldn’t she be wild and crazy? Nick, the sexy stranger she’d met on New Year’s, already seemed to think she was. Of course, he didn’t know the old Brenda. How long before Nick stripped it all away and found the truth beneath? And would that be a bad thing?
From Chapter 1:
On New Year's morning, I woke up with a man I didn't know.
I sat up. He sat up. We stared at each other.
He had blond hair sticking out every which way, bloodshot blue eyes, and a chin stubbled with red-gold bristles. He also had a very nice chest and muscular shoulders, which were all bronzed and tanned.
We were in my bed in my apartment and the New Year's party that had raged all night in the living room was finally quiet. We were both stark naked.
I had no clue who he was.
He said, "Unh."
I said, "Oh, God."
He scrambled out of bed, holding part of the sheet over him. I got a wonderful view of his chest and arms and lower abdomen, that slice between the belly button and what a nice girl shouldn't want to see.
He grabbed his clothes. He held them over himself and dropped the sheet. Then he ran.
He had the nicest butt I'd ever seen in my life.
I sat there, bewildered and in pain. I, Brenda Scott, mousy, quiet, never-rocks-the-boat Brenda had just slept with a beautiful-bodied blond man whose name she didn't know.
And I didn't remember anything about it….
Jennifer Ashley has us completely hooked on her Regency pirate novels. Like us, you may not have read these books when they first came out as they had pirate in the title. Well, dear reader, these are Regency romances with a dash of piracy and if we may say, not all “pirate’y”. fans of Celeste Bradley and Elizabeth Boyle will adore these books to feature troubled heroes who are dogged by their past, men who are dangerously attractive… |
